Winter clothes package for children
The Municipality of Vaals wants all children in Vaals to grow up healthy and happy. That is why we offer families with a low income and children up to the age of 18 a free clothing package.
Free winter clothes package
Do you have one or more children aged 0 to 18 and a low income? If so, you can put together a free winter clothing package together with your child(ren). We work closely with Kledingbank Limburg to provide this service.
